Designations under SME Regulations

HM Treasury has published a list of banks and finance platforms designated under the Small and Medium Sized Business (Finance Platforms) Regulations 2015. The Regulations require designated banks to refer small and medium sized enterprise (SMEs) customers, whom they have rejected for finance, to finance platforms that can match the SME with designated alternative finance providers. HM Treasury has also published a list of finance providers and trading names used by those finance providers within the banking groups listed in the notice of designation.
